Thanks guys! I am particularly concerned about the trismus, esp. after reading radiation can make it worse!! I'm wondering if that is something the rad. onc. would order PT for-- I see him Wed. My surgeon is four hours away in Tampa. I can't take a bite out of a sandwich unless I smash it flat to get between my teeth!
